Farmer's field yields hoard of Civil War coins


A plowed farmer’s field in England is notable not because of crops, but because of coins. A trove of over 1,000 coins dating to the English Civil War has been discovered in a field near the British village Ewerby, according to a report from Lincolnshire County Council. The coins are relics from a time long past, with the most recent being from 1643. “This is a monumental find from the turbulent years of the English Civil War,” Adam Daubney, finds officer for the Portable Antiquities Scheme at Lincolnshire County Council, said in a statement. The English Civil War spanned from 1642 to 1651, with the Royalists fighting with the Parliamentarians.
